Quote A: The symphony was ... premiered in Vienna on 17 October 1954 by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Harold Byrns.

Quote B: In 1959, Dimitri Mitropoulos wrote: "All my life I have searched for the perfect modern work. In this symphony I have found it. I shall perform it the next season." But Mitropoulos's death intervened, and the symphony, though played several times on European radio, was not performed in concert until November 1972 in Munich, under Rudolf Kempe.

What are we saying here? Was the Byrns (who's he, by the way) premiere considered not a real performance? Did it not count? Was the Kempe 1972 performance only the second concert performance of the work? Does the word again need to go in ... was not performed <here> in concert until November 1972? -- JackofOz (talk) 05:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

No worries, I worked it out. The 1954 Byrns performance was on radio, not in the concert hall. Fixed the wording. -- JackofOz (talk) 05:49, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Btw, I thought Harold Byrns was worthy of investigation, so I did some research and created an article on him (back in March). -- JackofOz (talk) 01:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
